Edelrid Starling Eco Dry 8.2 mm half rope climbing

The Starling Eco Dry 8.2 mm by Edelrid is a robust dynamic rope designed for mountaineering and long routes, offering an exceptional balance between handling and durability. Certified as both a half rope and a twin rope, it is the ideal choice for those looking to approach the half rope technique without sacrificing excellent value for money. The 8.2 mm diameter ensures high durability, supported by a sheath percentage of 42%, which effectively protects the core during rough ascents. Thanks to the Eco Dry finish, completely free of PFC and PFAS, the rope enjoys permanent water-repellent and stain-resistant properties, maintaining a water absorption of less than 2% according to the strict UIAA test standards. This treatment not only protects the integrity of the product in humid or icy conditions but also significantly extends its lifespan. The Thermo Shield technology ensures a pleasant softness to the touch, facilitating belaying maneuvers and knot management through a thermal process that perfectly aligns the fibers. Like all high-end products from the brand, this rope also benefits from the 3D Lap Coil system, allowing it to be used immediately without the risk of annoying tangles from the first unrolling. Weighing 45 g/m and with an impact force of 6.2 kN (as a half rope), the Starling Eco Dry offers consistent and safe performance, certified EN 892. The presence of the central marking facilitates positioning and double rappels, making every mountain adventure smoother and safer.
